The spirit of architecture exists in how people perceive the basics of nature and living. Rather than certain style, it is the emotion and logic of space, light, material and human activity what is vital in our design. This means an ancient stone and a digital structure are equally inspiring in our journey of exploring wisdom and poetry. At the same time, we dedicate our energy to explore strategies of transforming contemporary urban and social dynamics into operable design languages. We believe that this is an experimental way to keep architecture fresh and away from an international trend of formalism.
